The Doting Bigwig
Willow woke abruptly to the shrill ring of her phone. The loud sound startled her awake, and she rubbed her eyes groggily. Seeing Helen's bedroom door was slightly open, Willow immediately became fully alert.
She rushed to the door, only to find the room empty. The front door of the poker house, which had been locked the previous night, now stood wide open. Helen had quietly left early while Willow was still asleep.
Glancing around the empty house, Willow fumed and kicked a chair across the room. She thought bitterly that if Helen was so good at disappearing, she might as well keep it up. How could Helen, at her age, still be sneaking around like a lovesick teenager?
